No I've deleted all the things that the game needs.In Moonshell they give an games icon (and I hide unsupported files, so .sav is hided)

your windows explorer could be glitchy.

And to notice, it only happens on my R4 SDHC.
Not on my R4i SDHC Upgrade.

hmm, well try to do this: open the trashcan, check it to see if it has anything on it, if it has the erase it, its not uncommon that you erase the fiels they arent out of the system per se.

open up the view options of an explorer window and tell it to show hidden files, and look for any hidden files, if you see recycler that may be where the file links are (the data isn't moved per say just the link to it). Otherwise you may need to back up your data and format your disk and start fresh.

I've only seen this happen on a Mac...But it could be you need to empty the recycle bin and they may go away.Or it just allow hidden files if you don't have this activated.You may need to use a special program to get rid of them, as in wipe them out for good and have them unrecoverable.

The computer's trashcan doesn't hold the files from the microSD.
Also, if the computer's trashcan holds the files, they aren't on the micro SD.

On my external drive I have a folder called "Recycled" and there do all deleted files from that drive go.

Just backup your files and reformat the card is all I can say then if it's taking up that much room.

I already formatted my card 2 times today.
1 time to apply my R4 SDHC firmware patch and the other time because my R4i wasn't functioning correct.So that isn't needed :)Anyways, I will look if it still does.
